- yummypaint 7y agoShould be possible to check if its the thermal mechanism by looking at the frequency response. Should act like a low pass filter because of the mics thermal mass. If the response is flat i agree with Horrowitz that its probably leaking into chip packaging. The fact that IR light still works suggests to me that it's the mic heating up.
- Accujack 7y agoIf you have a third party controlled voice device online in your home that controls anything other than the lights and what music to play, you're a fool who deserves what you get. No consumer IOT device is secure enough to totally control either your safety or security, period.

- yellowapple 7y ago> you're a fool Yeah, fair, but... > who deserves what you get ...whoa there, pardner. Nobody deserves to be the victim of burglary/robbery simply for being uninformed or naïve. Relatively few people really understand the implications of this sort of technology. I don't hold that against them. I take it as a learning/teaching opportunity instead. Besides, who the hell would've guessed you could work these things silently and from long range with lasers?
